Proprioceptors

Special nerve endings in the muscles and tendons and other organs that respond to stimuli regarding the position and movement of the body. Proprioceptors help us regulate balance. They are frequently stretch (mechanoreceptors) receptors because as we start to fall over muscles on one side of our body will get stretched so these muscles will respond by tightening up. We do this without even thinking about it.
